November is now upon us, so you know what that means - the countdown for the next-generation consoles has officially begun. To keep the hype up for its new system, Sony has released a new trailer showing off its forthcoming PlayStation 4 in all its glory.
A lot of pans, swoops, dramatic zooms, and other artsy fartsy shots of a glossy piece of shiny black plastic are what it all comes down to, alongside a few of the console's key features, i.e., specs. See it all for yourself below.
All pretty basic really. If you like your information a bit more on the dry side, Sony released the official specs none too long ago, and you can check out the list here.
Admittedly, all the last minute info trickling out isn't as tantalizing as what was being discovered about the system shortly after it's official reveal, but Sony still has a few more tricks up its sleeve.
The company has some last minute games to announce, but won't be doing so until the console gets a bit of its own "midnight madness." 11pm EST, GameTrailers TV is hosing a PS4 All Access event, with Sony set to take center stage with some world premieres for titles that have not yet been formally announced in a blaze of last minute hype for the console finally releases. So it's got that going for it, which is nice.
Under the hood, the PlayStation 4 boasts Supercharged PC architecture, X86 CPU, Enhanced PC GPU, and 8GB Unified Memory according to the official specs.
It will support the same PlayStation Plus service as the Vita and PlayStation 3. However, a Plus subscription will be required for online multiplayer games, but not for additional media services like Netflix. Sony has also updated the Dual Shock controllers with a touch screen and improved shoulder triggers, and bundles the console with a headset.
Demo kiosks have already started making their way to various retailers, with more and more rolling out the closer we get to the console's launch date.
The PlayStation 4 is set to release on November 15 in North America and on November 29 in Europe. Day one games available for the system include Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Killzone Shadow Fall,Madden NFL 25, Minecraft, NBA 2K14, Need for Speed: Rivals, and more. It will retail for $399.
